Product Comparison

Our Independently Authored Preparatory Tests comprise:
  • One set of three MC exams (over 60 modified past CAS MC and computational questions).  This set of exams is in Paper Format only and will be mailed to candidates in late September.
  • One set of five exams with over 145 challenging questions and solutions. This set of exams is also in Paper Format and will be mailed to candidates in late September.

    This set of 5 exams contains computational and essay based questions only.
    The recommended time to complete each exam is 2.5 hours.


    Given the question types, and the time to complete them, one can conclude that this is a set of robust exams.

    CAS examiners develop questions that are aligned as closely as possible to the guidance given in the CAS Learning Objectives and Knowledge Statements.  Therefore, we have aligned the questions appearing in these independently authored exams with the CAS Learning Objectives and Knowledge Statements.

    Each test contains questions and solutions from sub sections of the CAS exam 6 syllabus readings.

    These tests contain a superior set of exam questions. Exposure to these questions and solutions provide candidates with a good indication of where their strengths and weakness lie, weeks before the Fall 2010 CAS Exams.
